There is a course conducted for some of the high school students in the area whereby they learn some basic personal security strategies including in every public place the first thing one should look for is all the exits. They also learn about staying away from dangerous places etc. There are a couple of yound people from Westbrook, CT who took such a personal security class combined with shoot don't shoot training that made it out unbirned from one of the side exits.

Such education, if taken to heart saves lives ... and particularly the lives of those who received and took to heart that training/education/counsel.

It's application in an emergency such as this are clear ... its application in many other, less-obvious areas of life are legion.

Best to you my friend.
